For something completely different
« on: February 07, 2022, 03:49:51 PM »
A friend and also former reenactor "Dennis" and his wife, Debera have been donating to the Museum.
The items are from Debera's late Fathers collection. He was a Militaria & Models and diorama maker with fine talent.
One of the items they brought was a VINTAGE JIM BEAM RAILROAD TRAIN DECANTER SET.
It was complete, but the three containers Engine, Log Car and Boxcar were... well consumed  ;)

I looked at this and thought to myself.."Hmmm self? why not follow "Mr. Marshell's
 lead" and I decided to make this 1898 Army artillery transport ....
Simple enough, I removed the glued on ceramic log container, and added the Artillery piece.

 The three containers were all empty save for the sweet strong Bourbon aroma.
 :) I don't do drams, never did; It only took a few minutes to detach the 4 glued doublets and lift the carminic container off.

Thank you, Gents,
when I began curating at the Museum, there was nothing on display for Spanish American War.
Thanks to the generous donations, I have slowly built the Exhibit.
 Many thanks to Joe Ray (Tascosa Joe), and the above-named estate of Mr. Marshell.
I've added items from my own collection.
I'm still looking to locate a Spanish Colonial (replica) Rayadillo uniform (like photo) I have the hat w/ cockade.
